Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, came to the defense of former President Barack Obama’s daughter, Malia, after a video appeared online showing the 19-year-old smoking and blowing rings.
The video has since been deleted from Instagram. Several websites picked up the video over the weekend.
Malia, the eldest daughter of the former president and former first lady, Michelle Obama, started attending Harvard University in August.
On Friday, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton tweeted: “Malia Obama’s private life, as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen, should not be your clickbait. Be better.”
Clinton also came to the defense of Barron Trump, President Trump’s youngest son, earlier this year.
In 2013, the White House slammed the press for posting pictures of Malia’s vacation in Mexico online.
The controversy this weekend prompted some on Twitter to question the narrative, saying attacks on Barron, 11, reveal a double-standard in the media.
